Daddy Doug and Mum

After college I did a missions trip in Australia and stayed with

"Daddy Doug and Mum."

They visited a few years later and are now back again to meet Jayden.

Today we took them to Oak Glen!Jayden showed them his favorite pumpkin!

We did some apple tasting...


And of course, Jayden was a happy boy!
After we finished at Oak Glen we headed to In-N-Out. This was Daddy Doug and Mum's second time at In-N-Out and they loved it! Jayden had fun too!
We decided Jayden will call Sandra...Grand-Mummy!
And Doug...Grand-Daddy-Doug!

They brought Jayden a Koala from Australia, along with a Koala book!
Jayden really liked the bag too!
Thank-you!

We're SO happy to see you again!
Thanks for coming from AUSTRALIA to meet Jayden!

Uncle Mark and Uncle Jared

Mark, Gina (Mark's girlfriend), and Jared came to visit this weekend.

We took a trip to Santa Monica Pier and the Promenade.

Jayden was such a good boy!

We went shopping at Old Navy and while Mommy was shopping,

Daddy took Jayden to chase a pigeon.

Jayden thought it was SO funny!

A man was playing jazz music on the pier so Grandpa took Jayden dancing.

It was SO cute!

Jayden and Grandma sat and watched the waves...
Jayden and Grandpa at the Promenade...
Jayden was so happy to see his Uncle Mark again!

Mark's girlfriend Gina got Jayden down for his nap!

Thanks for coming to meet us Gina...We LOVE you!

Jayden was excited to see Uncle Jared too!
Happy Birthday Uncle Jared!

Jayden cuddled up and went to sleep with Uncle Jared...

This is Jayden's new hat...Jayden is ready for winter!

Playing with Grandpa

We love when Jayden giggles!
We think it's the BEST sound ever!

Grandpa always finds a way to make him laugh...

Here are a few more pictures of Jayden playing with Grandpa..

He's such a happy baby!

We can't believe he's going to be 7 months!

Playing with Alison

Jayden LOVES Ali! All she has to do is look at him and he smiles!
She's going to be such an AWESOME babysitter!

A Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

We went to the Pumpkin Patch with Josh and Kristin today...

Jayden loved the "feel" of the hay. He kept trying to eat it!

The boys were so intrigued by everything going on around them.
Jayden was very tired by the time we got there.
We don't have very many "serious" pictures of him, but we do now!

We can't until next year when the boys are running around and picking their own pumpkins!
A picture by the corn stalks.
I think Jayden liked the BIG pumpkin!


After a quick nap...our boy was back to his happy self! =)

Getting Ready for Halloween!

Jessica made this shirt for Jayden. It is SO cute!

Sarah and Ben help take good care of Jayden.

Thank you Lingenfelters!

Grandpa and Grandma Erickson

Grandpa and Grandma Erickson came to visit Jayden last weekend.

Jayden showed Grandma how he could sit all by himself!

Jayden is SO close to crawling! He gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth. He gets to where he wants to go by rolling over and then pushing himself back up into a sitting position.

Shopping with Gramma Goose...

My mom emailed me this picture today while I was at work.

She took it with her camera phone...

I thought it was SO cute!

Jayden was "shopped" out!

Grandpa's Tent!

Grandpa made Jayden a tent!

Jayden was cracking up! He loved it!

My little boy is always so happy!

Hanging out with Mommy...

My Little Nephew!!!

My sister is having a BOY!!!

We find it pretty funny that we only have girls in our family,

and we both have boys!

We're SO excited for the arrival of our little nephew!

After our nephew (from Jenn) and our niece (from Becky) are born in a few months, we'll have...

2 nieces and 2 nephews!!

Ryan is going to be a great big brother and Jessica a great big sister!

We're VERY excited!! We can't wait to see you at Christmas!
